Fantastic book, there were a bunch of hilarious things to read in this book. I hope there's another book in the series cause I love seeing all the things Colin does with his life. 5/5.

From the first page of this new book of novellas to the last page I was entertained. Colin is at his best as the irreverent druid who must fight to the finish to get his date, Janice's grandmother's ancient artifact back from a ten foot tall, skinny evil demigod who eats children. It ends not as you would expect. Crowley gets in on the act as he tries to simply get his comic books to feed his addiction. He also winds up in a mess of trouble as he finds out he must do a good deed in order to keep his mainline of comics going. Last, but not least, Larry the chupacabra, in all his flea-bitten glory as he gets Colin to help him as his ex tries to run him down. Larry's ex is very powerful, tricky and evil so he calls in a few of his friends. Colin and the junkyard will never be the same. For fans of Colin McCool, you can't go wrong on this new novel, by one of my favorite authors.

Three Great Short Stories
I have to admit I'm biased add i have loved the Junkyard Druid series since i first discovered it. These three sort stories were perfect though for where they were placed in the timeline. They were also well written with the right of humor to offset the serious peril that Colin and his friends and frenemy are regularly in.
I have to say being a native of South Louisiana and old enough too ferment the old Dunkin' commercial, I loved the time to make the beignets line from the first short story.
Overall, an excellent set of short stories filling in some of the in between times for stonewalling and Crowley.

I was actually a bit disappointed in this book of short stories. I have enjoyed this series so far, but I think that if I had not already been heavily invested into Colin and his crazy adventures - this book would not have caught my interest. Definitely I think that if this had been the first book in the series, I would NOT have continued onto book 2. But, alas - I am already 5 books in - so it made it easier to give it a bit more leeway.
So, there are three stories that are a bit on the "light on credibility" side, yet if you are already invested in the last druid, then just take it with a grain of salt and read on...….

Nice group of shorts
A nice addition to the Junkyard Druid universe. Good wit, action and story lines. I'm definitely sold on this series.

Brilliant as always
What can I say, it just gets better and better form MD Massey, My favourite was Crawley. I'm very excited to read more about him.
Fan-flipping-tastic!

Great novellas
I love seeing short stories of adventures between the main books. Gives you another view point on stuff that the books don’t always have the ability show.

Fun short tales! Love this series!
Well written and gives the characters depth. Continues some story lines. The last one was a hilarious throw in zombie stories.

Fun
An excellent collection of short stories! I really enjoyed stepping out of the story lines and getting a sneak peek into the lives of crowley and Colin.

Wild and weird
Three entertaining short stories featuring characters from the Junkyard Druid series. My favorite story featured Colin's one time nemesis, Crowley.
